Abstract

A new restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) detected for the human glutathione S-transferase-pi (GST3) gene with the restriction endonuclease,BamHI (GGATCC) is described. Because of the association of GST isozymes with certain human diseases, the data on involvement of different GST loci, their chromosomal location and information on RFLPs are of potential diagnostic value.
